Hi, I have had problems for the last 6 weeks and have got nowhere with customer services - despite being on the phone for hours.  When going into Mobile Data on my phone app it says - your O2 account is not eligible to enable mobile service on your Apple Watch.  I've have wifi calling enabled and have had esim reset numerous times - any ideas how to fix

We’re just customers like you but it sounds like you’ll need someone to access your account which can’t be done from here. if you send them a message on Facebook (https://o2uk.co/O2CFB) , Twitter (https://o2uk.co/O2CTW) or Instagram (https://o2uk.co/O2CIG), or you can call 202 from your o2 phone

Done all that with no success. Twitter thread has been going on from 26th July, O2 Customer services coming up to 7 weeks with being passed from one person to the next.  Instagram no reply.  It seems nobody has any idea how to deal with something which should be so simple.

@Frustrated50 

What type of account do you have?

It can only be consumer monthly contract paid by direct debit.

I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.

Currently using:
Pixel 7a (O2 & Lyca), One Plus 6 (Sfr), iPhone 12 Pro Max (Vodafone)

Sounds like you have all the bases covered - some here have reported success in an O2 Shop, If you have a reliably-staffed one handy, @Frustrated50 - https://community.o2.co.uk/t5/Tech-Support/Apple-watch-not-connecting-to-mobile-data/m-p/1638093/hig...

Otherwise keep calling 202, around 8am is best, until you get a knowledgeable CS rep. Good luck.

If you are still in your 14-day window, then that sounds the best option, @Cmulholland7 - otherwise Guide: Cancelling Your Contract will help you work out what it'll cost to leave. Good luck!
